Plus the payment Obi Wan promised to Captain Solo was presumably measured in currency. So the Larses required a Bocce translator when "trading" (read purchasing supplies & equipment) from merchants in Mos Eisley. | |

For a specific junk dealer (why couldn't they trade them to Jabba, who presumably used them?). 30 years ago, roughly, in-universe. Given that the empire's probably issued new currency, that may be accepted. | |
